What advice do you have regarding how to contact CW4s and CW5s for a WOFT packet?

You've already made the first step! Rally Point has provided many located around the world and in different services with no way to contact an Army CW4/5 for LORs and packet reviews. There are plenty here and then there are those who will assist in getting you a more local interview if possible. Street to seat applicants have been streamlined and it doesn't take as long to do the packets anymore due to the primary board being eliminated and the packet now going straight to USAREC for processing without a panel interview. Ask anything, I will see if I can assist.

All W4 and W5’s had to do the same thing long ago. I would recommend writing a request (short one) that describes who you are, what your goals are, and how you feel your leadership would benefit the Warrant Officer Corps. Find the email address for the Bde CW5 and Avn Bn CW4’s and email them with subject “Request Flight Packet Senior Warrant Officer Interview”. Give it a week and follow up by phone.

I put in a WOFT packet a few years ago and thought the same about WOs - basically untouchable. Once I met one I realized how wrong I was. WOs are well aware that potential candidates need recommendations, and in my experience they were all more than willing to sit down for an interview to get a grasp on your character and future potential. The aviators I met with took me in as one of their own and they all helped me with my packet on top of writing me a LOR.

Its good that you know what you want and that you are sticking to your guns - just remember that everyone in the Army has an opinion about something, and if they don't have a significant amount of experience on the topic you should take their advice and heed it when necessary, but don't allow it to influence your pursuit of your own personal and career goals. Good luck!
